Dip the base of the cutting in a rooting hormone, either liquid or powder and place cutting in plastic containers with drainage holes, filled with cutting mix which has been lightly flattened.
Tiny wasps and hover flies darted around my blossoming winter savory. Our farm flora includes pretty wildflowers like trillium and wild rose, edible herbs such as stinging nettle and dandelion, bird-luring thimbleberries and red huckleberries, towering...
This is so you can tie a cord to the thermometer and it won't get sucked into the animal; then you have to dig in and retrieve it with your fingers and that's no fun for us or you.
It's hot! Uzzi and I lie in the shade and watch our Mom and Dad do the chores; some days she looks pretty frazzled. If you can't avoid midday heat, pace yourself. Mom puts big ice cubes in our drinking water so that we drink enough, but she drinks lots...
Off-road diesel engines 25 horsepower and under, such as Massey Ferguson's GC2400 or Kubota BX 2360 subcompact tractors, already meet Tier 4 standards. “Smaller engines have the same emissions-control challenge, but the cost has to be spread over a...
We agreed that it would probably be time well spent for any engineer to study how muscles and ligaments are attached and how they react to forces and movement. Our bodies are the ultimate in engineering and the most effective and versatile tools we will...
Some of this is a direct result of throwing out food we have been conditioned to think is inedible. Well, lots of veggie plants have edible leaves. In fact, those tender young leaves are delicious chopped into salads, soups, or anything you use celery...

Here's the program in Lyn's own words. Last week, we told you what to feed a lamb or kid; this week we'll show you how to feed them with a bottle. Start by getting a nipple your tiny baby will probably like.
One of the most popular patterns is Desert Rose created inby Frederick and Mary Grant in 1941 for the Gladding McBean pottery. Pictured are some other early decals of roses. Roses are probably the most widely used flower for decorating dinnerware.
A previous article introduced the typical garrigue environment and plants as well as a water-color artist worth to meet. Http://www.editionsrohart.fr/Page%20Jacqueline%20Devin.htm Today we will go for a second stroll in the same area and see what else...
Garnish with some diced scallions. Then add in and cook up a fresh set of diced vegetables and cook any noodles or grain separately. In between the two, you reduced that proud bird to a pile of rubble, didn't you?
Instead, we position ourselves a few feet apart while facing one another, rear onto our hind legs and then swoop forward, down and to the side to smash our heads or horns against those of our opponents.
In modern western cultures this is done mechanically. Stems resemble straws and have nodes closer together at the base and farther apart from each other toward the top. Each branch has several smaller branches called spikelets, each with one flower.
Maybe you would like to get a bottle baby, too? This time of year, many goat and sheep breeders sell bottle babies or give them away for free. Mom wants a red goat this time because we black goats are harder to photograph.
Underneath the composite flower head is a series of green, pointed structures called bracts or phyllaries. As disc flowers are pollinated, they eventually wither and the seed and the associated pappus, which together are called the cypsela, begin to develop.
Stay tuned! I'll have more about us goats next week. Besides us obviously superior Nubian goats, we have Boers , a Sable (Sables are colored Saanens ) but also registered as a separate breed), an Alpine , a Spanish and several mixtures—mostly Boer and...
These became the ancestors of one of today's rarer dual-purpose wool and meat breeds, Navajo-Churros . Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, all of whom raised sheep at their estates, chose American-made woolen suits to wear...
